Astros manager Bo Porter indicated Friday, that despite his recent demotion, the Astros still see Brett Wallace as a big part of their future.

Walllace got off to an absolutely abysmal start, hitting .042/.115/.042 with 17 strikeouts in his first 24 at-bats. Even if he gets back on track by hammering Triple-A pitching in the PCL, it's very unlikely that Wallace becomes a useful fantasy contributor in 2013.

Astros optioned 1B Brett Wallace to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Wallace was batting just .042 with a .157 OPS through 26 plate appearances this season for the Astros. The former 13th overall pick will turn 27 years old in August and can safely be called a bust at this point.

Brett Wallace is starting at third base Tuesday against the Rangers.

The Astros changed handful of things from their Opening Day lineup. Matt Dominguez is on the bench, Marwin Gonzalez is at shortstop instead of Ronny Cedeno, Carlos Pena is at first base, Carlos Corporan is at catcher and Jason Castro is in the DH slot. It's an odd decision that they're going with inferior defense on the left side of the infield given that sinkerballer Lucas Harrell is on the mound.

Brett Wallace hit a two-run homer off Jacob Turner in the Astros' 4-1 win over the Marlins on Sunday.

The Astros still haven't announced anything, but it looks like Wallace will be the primary first baseman and he'll probably bat second most of the time. His fantasy upside is still pretty limited, but his stock has climbed a bit. He's batting .289 with three homers this spring.
